The Church of Our Lady of Laeken (French: Église Notre-Dame de Laeken, Dutch: Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk van Laken) is a Roman Catholic parish church in the Brussels district of Laeken, Belgium. Built in neo-Gothic style, it was originally erected in memoriam of Queen Louise-Marie, wife of King Leopold I, to the design of the architect Joseph Poelaert.
Pope Pius XI granted a decree of pontifical coronation towards the venerated Marian image enshrined within the church on 8 September 1935. The rite of coronation was executed by the former Archbishop of Mechelen, Cardinal Jozef-Ernest van Roey on 17 May 1936.
The Royal Crypt underneath the shrine is the main resting place for the members of the Belgian royal family, with some notable artisans also interred at the nearby cemetery.
